BLEAK and horrifying and so smart. loved the workplace satire stuff, loved the wandering through the city documenting things fall apart, loved the central through-line of the fevered caught in nostalgic cycles forever. loved the ending. also like - more poignant than i expected! some touching mother/daughter shit here.
